Volunteer at the Warming Center

How to Get Involved

Please review our Volunteer opportunities and needs. We appreciate your willingness to serve. 


Please use the signup form through EngageHCM.org

EngageHCM.org

The opening and operation of our facility relies heavily on volunteer dependability. Unfortunately, when a volunteer signs up, but doesn't show up for their shift, guest needs may not be met, we may not be able to open that evening, or remain open overnight. We understand that life happens. In such an event, please notify us as soon as possible. 


Volunteers should report to the side doors at the lower level of the Salvation Army building.


Please only select opportunities you can commit to and fulfill. Also, please understand that online signup forms are used to maintain efficiency and effectiveness of managing the Volunteer database for The Warming Center. We look forward to meeting, talking, and working with you!
